TheOne Direction mega-star has been soaking up the sights in NYC solo, hanging around with a gorg blonde model, and working alongside UK pop legend, Gary Barlow!

The X Factor UK judge and Take That frontman has been providing some mentoring to lil' Har.

The two met up at Soho House for a drink last weekend to discuss the singer’s development as a songwriter, and Gary allegedly gave Mr.1D a pep-talk about tackling the next steps in his solo career! A source explains:

“Gary has been over in New York working on music for a Broadway musical version of Finding Neverland. He heard Harry was in town and arranged to meet up. They had a great afternoon talking about Gary’s life in Take That as a young bloke and then more recently. Harry is an attentive guy and really listens. He likes keeping older company and soaks up as much advice as he can get.
Gary talked him through his songwriting techniques and offered to write with him whenever they get the chance.”

Since 1D signed a 5 year contract, we guess Har-Har isn't going solo just yet, BUT he could be writing music for the group's new record that comes out in December!!!

The boys of One Direction signed individual publishing deals to earn extra dollars per hit they pop out!

Perez, if you've actually paid attention to people besides tabloid junkie, Harry, you'd realize Liam is the one actually geared in that direction. Based off of his pre-1D career & interviews with songwriters, I can tell that Liam, not Harry, is the one most serious about the solo career and songwriting. It's a shame his strong vocals keep getting overshadowed by the circus around him.

On Sunday, Tori Spelling took to Instagram to document the festive St. Patrick's Day she had with her husband, Dean McDermott, and their brood. Mr. and Mrs. McDermott were joined by their five children, Liam (10), Stella (9), Hattie (6), Finn (5), and Beau (1).
